Pope Leo XIV has vowed to keep working to overcome differences with the Anglican Communion. He met Monday with Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally, the first female leader of the Church of England. Leo acknowledged new problems have been added to historically divisive issues but said he remains committed to dialogue. Anglicans split from Rome in 1534, and big differences remain, especially over the ordination of women. Mullally, on a four-day pilgrimage to Rome, prayed with Leo at the Vatican. Her appointment has divided the Anglican Communion, with some conservative groups opposing her leadership.
